Reborn as a prince, achieve the pinnacle of power

At this moment, Acheson's face was pale, and the cold sweat on his forehead slid down like drizzle, soaking his temples. He felt as if his body had lost all warmth and was completely cold.

"Your Excellency...I..."

Aitchison opened his mouth to argue, but was immediately stopped by Unreliable's sharp eyes. Unreliable continued to roar with rage:

"Acheson, you are a warmongerer. As the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces of the United States, I will immediately remove you from all public positions and wait for your trial by the military court."

"The Commander-in-Chief..."

Acheson's voice trembled. He tried to speak, but his throat seemed to be tightly strangled by an invisible hand, and he could not utter a complete word. There was a flash of fear and despair in his eyes. He had never thought that he would be relieved of his post under such circumstances. What awaited him was a trial by a military court. This was undoubtedly a nightmare for him.

"No, please give me a chance to explain..."

Acheson's voice almost dropped to the dust. He tried to grasp the last straw, but the trembling and pleading in his voice could not hide his inner panic. He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, tried to organize his thoughts, and gave a reasonable explanation.

Acheson's brain raced, and suddenly he came across a chilling question.

As the Minister of Defense, he was the first to receive news of the attack on the base, and he rushed to the Commander's Mansion as soon as possible.

However, this information appeared on an unreliable desk before he arrived.

There must be something wrong here.

Acheson's mind was opened and he couldn't help but think about it carefully. The more he thought about it, the more terrified he became. He thought that the unreliable person must have known about this a long time ago.

So why didn't he stop it?

Acheson couldn't help but raise his head, and glanced at the unreliable man with an angry face with a puzzled look, and gradually he understood.

This unreliable person regards Daxia as a competitor of Yingjiang from the bottom of his heart.

At the beginning of his reign, he tried hard to cut off ties with Daxia, and it was known that he hated Daxia in his heart.

However, Chu Yuchen's sudden appearance caused the unreliable blockade and suppression of Daxia to end in failure again and again.

He must be becoming more and more resentful towards Daxia.

This time he did not stop Radamanthys's private actions, he must have made some plans in his heart.

If Radamanthys can successfully inflict heavy damage on the Great Xia fleet, it will certainly deal a heavy blow to the arrogance of the Great Xia, and the Eagle Sauce can also take advantage of the situation to become stronger...

If Radamanthys fails, then he can push himself and Radamanthys out and let them take the responsibility of provoking the war...

A dead Taoist friend will never die but a poor Taoist.

Passing the buck is the most basic quality of a politician.

Now that he had figured this out, Acheson found a way to escape.

"Commander-in-chief, Radamanthys approached me about this matter in advance, but I rejected it outright."

Acheson excused himself, "As for the $2000 million, I have no idea. He must have deliberately transferred the money to my account to drag me down. I will immediately hand over the $2000 million to the treasury. In addition, I am willing to go to Jiaobenji in person to bring Radamanthys to justice."

Acheson gnashed his teeth, his heart filled with resentment towards Radamanthys: he actually accepted a bribe of 1.5 million US dollars from China, but only gave him 2000 million US dollars, which was simply too much... Such a person who disrespects his superiors must pay the price.

"Do you think I'll believe you?"

Facing Acheson's plea for mercy, Unreliable's expression remained cold, and there was no sympathy in his eyes, only the severity of the current situation and disappointment with Acheson's behavior.

"Sir, please give me a chance because I have been following you for decades."

Acheson's voice was pleading and his eyes were full of despair, like a drowning man desperately grabbing the last piece of driftwood.

Although, at this moment, the unreliable person has lost trust in him, he is still unwilling to give up, trying to exchange his loyalty and contributions over the years for a glimmer of hope.

"Commander-in-Chief, I admit that I have made my mistakes, but please believe that I have never thought of betraying you. I am willing to resign my position, but please do not let me be court-martialed."

Unreliable stared at Acheson with eyes as sharp as a knife for a long time before he exhaled heavily and said slowly: "The national situation is difficult, Acheson, I am willing to give you another chance, you go to Jiaobenji immediately and appease the army... As for whether to fight or make peace with Daxia, I still need to consider it."

"Thank you for your trust."

Acheson was overjoyed to have escaped death. He bowed deeply, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes, but more of it was relief that he had survived the disaster.

"Commander-in-Chief, I promise that I will do my best to appease the troops, stabilize the situation, and avoid any unnecessary conflicts."

After Acheson made some assurances, he hesitated for a moment and then cautiously suggested: "Sir, it is not appropriate for us to have any more conflicts with Daxia now. We must start peace talks..."

"I know!"

Unreliable just felt a headache, but nodded anyway.

When he met the young and inexperienced Chu Yuchen, he could only bow his head and admit defeat.

"I will immediately contact Daxia through the Commander Hotline. Regardless of right or wrong, both sides must restrain their troops to avoid another conflict."

……

Early in the morning, a helicopter from the United States hovered over the air force base which was already in ruins.

The base at this moment looked as desolate as hell.

The once solid fortifications were blown to pieces, and the debris of concrete and steel were scattered everywhere, like toys torn apart by the hands of a giant.

The impact of the Dongfeng Express left huge bottomless holes on the ground. The soil at the edges was charred black. The air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder mixed with the pungent smell of burning rubber and metal.

The wreckage of the building was scattered, the walls were blown up, the roof collapsed, and the internal structure was completely exposed to the outside world, like a corpse torn apart by a giant beast.

The once busy runway is now pitted and unusable, with aircraft wreckage scattered all over the ground, fuselages torn apart, engines and parts scattered everywhere, creating a mess.

The ground was covered with craters, some of which were several meters deep, their edges charred black by the heat of the explosion, like scars on the earth.

The vegetation was scorched, and only blackened trunks were left of the trees, with no branches or leaves, and a dead silence.

The former green was replaced by ashes and dirt, and the entire base seemed to be covered by a layer of gray dust, losing its vitality.

The dust in the air has not yet completely dispersed. The sunlight shines through the dust, forming beams of light, but it cannot dispel the haze here. In the ruins, you can occasionally hear faint cries for help. They are the survivors struggling to survive under the ruins. Their voices are particularly mournful in the silence, making people feel the cruelty of war and the fragility of life.

As the reporter from Foot Basin Chicken broadcast live on the helicopter, the entire Blue Planet was in an uproar.
